I need some help here. Let me quickly fill you in on what has happened. I noticed on my bank statement that I had several recurring charges from iTunes that I didn’t make. When I say several, I’m talking about 10-15 $59.99 and $99.99 charges made within seconds of each other in a block...

In light of the current Internet hacking activity - how concerned should I be about Apples built in security infrastructure. Beyond activating the firewall and having difficult passwords for network access, should I be thinking about a VPN or a hardwired third party firewall?
